From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How are you guys pronouncing this?

Personally, I’ve found it sounds kind of nice when said like “Loon tea”.

That's pretty much how it sounded in my lingual mind.

Except Loo (Lew) instead of Luh Lu-Auntie.

To go with your Lu-Vati & Lu-Mudder
